Preparing for a Self-Clean Cycle
During Self-Clean, the oven is heated to a very high
temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings
in or around any part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven
material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
remove the gasket.
• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
• Remove all utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL.
These items cannot withstand high cleaning
temperatures and will melt.
• Remove racks. See “Removing & Replacing Oven
Racks” under Accessories. If they are not removed
during the Self-Clean cycle, their color will turn slightly
blue and the finish will dull. After the cycle is complete
and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier into the rack position).
• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity
before starting the Self-Clean cycle. To clean, use hot,
soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause
heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
• Hand clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the
front center of the oven bottom. these areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap & water.
• Prior to setting the self-Clean cycle, any spills
remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.
Important: To start a self-clean cycle immediately without a
delay, skip steps 2 & 3 in the instructions provided below.
To set the Self-Clean mode:
1. Be sure the clock displays the correct time of day.
2. Press “Start Tme”. The " : " in the time of day will flash.
3. Press and hold the “+” pad to scroll to the time to start
the delayed Self-Clean cycle. Release the pad when
the desired time is displayed.
4. Press “Self Clean”. “---” appears in the display.
5. Press the “+” or “-” pad once. “3:00” will appear in the
display indicating that a 3 hour self-clean time is set. To
change to a 2 hour self-clean time press “-” once (2:00
appears in the display). To self-clean using a 4 hour
clean time press “+” once (4:00 appears in display).
6. " CLn" will appear in the display during the self-clean
cycle and the "LOCK" light will glow until the self-
cleaning cycle is complete or cancelled and the oven
temperature has cooled.
WARNING:
• During the elimination of soil during self-
cleaning, small amounts of Carbon
Monoxide can be created and the
fiberglass insulation could give off very
small amounts of formaldehyde during
the first several cleaning cycles. To
minimize exposure to these substances,
provide good ventilation with an open
window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.
• Do not block the oven vents(s) during the
self-cleaning cycle. Always operate the
unit according to the instructions in the
manual.
• When self-cleaning, confirm that the door
locks and will not open. If the door does
not lock, stop self-clean operation and
contact service.
